The Athens Affordable Housing Commission is gearing up for leadership changes as discussions about nominations for next year's positions took center stage during their meeting on September 16, 2025. The commission is seeking input from its members regarding interest in leadership roles, including chair, vice president, and secretary, with a deadline for responses set for September 30.

During the meeting, a member expressed a desire to step back from the chair position, indicating a preference to serve as a regular member instead. This sentiment opened the floor for other members to consider stepping into leadership roles. The nominations committee, led by Megan, is actively seeking candidates to fill the vacancy left by Kimberly, who is stepping down. While no final decisions have been made, the committee is encouraging all members to express their interest in serving.

In addition to leadership discussions, the commission confirmed that no current members are rolling off the committee, ensuring continuity in its operations. However, there is a notable vacancy due to Solvay's position, as she is a nominee from the city council and wishes to be considered for next year.

The meeting also touched on the new development committee, although attendance issues prevented any new updates from being shared. As the commission moves forward, the emphasis on member engagement and leadership participation is expected to play a crucial role in shaping its future initiatives and community impact.
